Hi Jason,
>From the information provided, it is possible that the layout of your
segments could be the cause of the problem. I've sent you an email directly
regarding this, but I think the README in the project stationery is
incorrect i.e. it asks you to exclude those calls called when
sysAppCmdNormalLaunch is received. The instructions in the Targeting Palm OS
docs are the correct ones in this case. Try rearranging with this in mind to
see if it works.
